Hi there, I’m Sam from Using Technology Better, and today I’m going to give you a demonstration of Google Forms’ Quizzes feature. So this is a relatively new feature that Google has added to Google Forms. What it lets you do is automatically grade multiple choice check-box and drop-down questions, lets you return the results to the students straightaway on the screen so they can their score, or at a later date if you like via email. Part of this you can also include feedback on correct and incorrect answers. It also lets you see some basic statistics about your students’ performance. So let’s get started.

On my screen in front of me you’ll see that I already have a Google Form that I’ve built earlier. So that’s really the best place to start, by jumping into it with an existing form, or you can create a new one, and pop your questions in. So as I mentioned, you do need to make sure you stick to either multiple choice check-box or drop-down style questions. I like to include a “Your Name” question just for easy looking at the results to see which students have filled it in, but obviously you don’t have to if you don’t want to.  I’ll talk a little bit more shortly about collecting the students’ email address as an identification as well.

But now that we’ve added our questions, we can go in and actually enable the quizzing feature. So to do that, come up to the top right of the screen here to your cog icon which is Settings. And you’ll see that on the third tab, it says Quizzes. So we can jump in here and simply toggle on “Make this a quiz.” So further down, we’ve got a few options we can configure. So the first one is how you want to release the students’ mark. So “Immediately after each submission” means that they’ll see a little link on the screen that says “View my score,” and I’ll actually show you that shortly, and it will pop up their grades straightaway and any feedback that you’ve configured in there. Now if you prefer, you can actually not show them their score straightaway and put on this option for “Later after manual review.” Actually gives you the power to view all of the results and return the students’ grades in one batch. So for instance, you might want to use this latter option if it is quite a formal test and they are sitting at different times and you don’t want students to get feedback at different times.

So if it’s perhaps just a formative assessment quiz that they’re doing at home or during class and it doesn&...
